2 Corinthians 7
Maori Bible
7 Na, i a tatou ka whiwhi nei ki enei kupu whakaari, e oku hoa aroha, tahuri tatou ki te horoi atu i a tatou i nga mea poke katoa o te kikokiko, o te wairua, me te whai ano ki te tino tapu i runga i te wehi ki te Atua.
2 Manako mai ki a matou; kahore a matou whakahaere he ki tetahi, kahore matou i kukume i tetahi ki te kino, kahore a matou whakapati i nga taonga a tetahi.
3 Ehara taku kupu nei i te mea hei whakatau he ki a koutou: kua mea atu na hoki ahau, kei o matou ngakau koutou mo te mate tahi, mo te ora tahi.
4 Nui atu toku maia ki te korero ki a koutou, nui atu toku whakamanamana mo koutou: ki tonu ahau i te whakamarie, hira ake toku koa i o matou matenga katoa.
5 I to matou taenga mai hoki ki Makeronia, kihai i whai okiokinga to matou kikokiko, heoi mate ana matou i nga taha katoa; i waho ko nga whawhai, i roto ko nga mataku.
6 Otira na te kaiwhakamarie o te hunga e whakaititia ana, ara na te Atua, nana matou i whakamarie, i a Taituha ka tae mai nei;
7 Ehara i te mea na tona taenga mai anake, engari na te whakamarietanga ano hoki i whakamarietia ai ia e koutou, i tana korerotanga mai ki a matou i to koutou hiahia nui, i to koutou tangi, i to koutou ngakau nui ki ahau; a ka koa rawa ahau.
8 Ahakoa hoki i whakapouritia koutou e ahau ki taku pukapuka, kahore ahau i te mea e he ana ahau, ahakoa i mahara pera i mua ra: kua kite nei hoki ahau na taua pukapuka koutou i mea kia pouri, ara pouri potopoto nei.
9 E hari ana tenei ahau, ehara i te mea mo te whakapouritanga i a koutou, engari no te mea i whakapouritia koutou a ripeneta iho: ko to koutou pouri hoki no ta te Atua, e kore noa iho ai koutou e whai he i a matou.
10 E meinga ana hoki e ta te Atua pouri he ripeneta e ora ai, he ripeneta kahore ona haku: ko ta te pouri ia o te ao e mahi ai he mate.
11 Titiro hoki, ko taua mea nei ano, ko ta te Atua whakapouritanga i a koutou, na, tana mahinga nui i roto i a koutou, ae ra, nga kupu whakatikatika i a koutou, te riri, te wehi, te hiahia, te ngakau nui, te whakapa riri! I nga mea katoa kua whakak ite nui koutou, kahore o koutou hara i tenei mea.
12 No reira, ahakoa i tuhituhi ahau ki a koutou, kahore ahau i tuhituhi atu mo te tangata nana te he, mo te tangata ranei ki a ia nei te he, engari kia whakakitea ai ki a koutou i te aroaro o te Atua te nui o to koutou matapopore ki a matou.
13 Koia matou i whai marietanga ai: a i to matou whakamarietanga hira noa ake to matou koa i te koa hoki o Taituha, no te mea kua whakahauoratia tona wairua e koutou katoa.
14 Mehemea hoki ahau i whakamanamana ki a ia ki tetahi mea a koutou, kahore ahau i meinga kia whakama; no te mea i korerotia e matou nga mea katoa ki a koutou i runga i te pono, waihoki ko to matou whakamanamana, i meinga nei e ahau i te aroaro o T aituha, kua kitea he pono.
15 A hira ake ano hoki tona ngakau aroha ki a koutou, i a ia e mahara ana ki te ngohengohe o koutou katoa, ki te wehi me te wiri i manako ai koutou ki a ia.
16 E hari ana ahau, no te mea ka marama toku whakaaro ki a koutou i nga mea katoa.

New International Version
7 Therefore, since we have these promises,(A) dear friends,(B) let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness(C) out of reverence for God.
Paul’s Joy Over the Church’s Repentance
2 Make room for us in your hearts.(D) We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one. 3 I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts(E) that we would live or die with you. 4 I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you.(F) I am greatly encouraged;(G) in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.(H)
5 For when we came into Macedonia,(I) we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn(J)—conflicts on the outside, fears within.(K) 6 But God, who comforts the downcast,(L) comforted us by the coming of Titus,(M) 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.
8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter,(N) I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while— 9 yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. 10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation(O) and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 11 See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern,(P) what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. 12 So even though I wrote to you,(Q) it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong(R) nor on account of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are. 13 By all this we are encouraged.
In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus(S) was, because his spirit has been refreshed by all of you. 14 I had boasted to him about you,(T) and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus(U) has proved to be true as well. 15 And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient,(V) receiving him with fear and trembling.(W) 16 I am glad I can have complete confidence in you.(X)
